Biography
Mezentius was born to the Etruscans, but he was sent into exile because of his cruelty, and he went to Latium. He was known to revel in bloodshed and to be overly savage on the battlefield, and he became a tyrannical Etruscan king and an ally of King Turnus of the Rutilians. In 1233 BC, he took part in the war against Aeneas and his Trojans, and his son Lausus was slain as he fled from Aeneas. Mezentius later returned to battle to avenge his son, but Aeneas pinned Mezentius under his dead horse. Mezentius was defiant until the end, asking only to be buried with his son, and Aeneas then killed him.
